Plan your Japan trip without

Plan my trip to Japan: the step-by-step guide I built to make planning easy
Planning a trip to Japan can feel confusing before you even book your flight. Too many cities, too much advice, and no clear starting point.
That’s exactly why I created Plan My Trip, a free step-by-step travel planning tool designed to give you clarity from the very beginning.
No stress. No endless Google searches. Just the right questions, in the right order.
What is Plan My Trip?
Plan My Trip is a free tool that helps you structure your Japan trip before you book anything.
You’ll answer simple but essential questions, such as:
– When is the best time to go to Japan for your travel style
– How long you should stay
– Which cities make sense for your first trip
– Where to base yourself
– What travel pace fits you or your group
By the end, you’ll have a clear direction for your itinerary instead of dozens of open tabs.
Who is it for?
Plan My Trip is ideal if you:
– Don’t know where to start planning Japan
– Want a custom itinerary without spending hours researching
– Are planning your first trip to Japan
– Prefer clarity before booking flights or hotels
No travel experience is needed. The tool is simple, fast, and intuitive.
Why use it before anything else?
Planning Japan works best when the structure comes first.
Plan My Trip helps you avoid common mistakes like:
– Trying to see too much
– Choosing the wrong base cities
– Moving too fast or too slow
– Booking flights before understanding distances
It’s the perfect first step before guides, maps, or reservations.
How it works
– Answer the questions step by step
– Get a clear travel direction
– Use the result to build your itinerary or move on to guides and maps
It’s free, practical, and designed to save you time.

Hi, I’m Marie.
French islander from Reunion island, Japan lover, and travel planner behind Tabimawari.
I spent a year living in Kyoto, learning Japanese and falling in love with the culture. Since then, I’ve kept going back, exploring every corner from Tokyo to the tiniest hidden towns.
I created these guides after spending months planning, testing, and fine-tuning every detail so you don’t have to. Inside, you’ll find:
✅ Interactive maps
✅ Step-by-step directions
✅ Local spots + travel tips
✅ Offline use
Each guide is made with care, based on real-life travel, not generic blog advice.
This is what I wish I had on my first trip to Japan and now it’s yours.
